I had to make two blogs for two different classes this term and I wanted to share them on my GRS Blog.
The first one was for APBI 260. My group and I looked into the feasibility of aquaponics at the UBC Farm. It was a very general and broad topic, we basically just learned about how aquaponics works and tried to see if it would be a good fit at the Farm. We think they should build a system, even though it would cost a bit of money to start up, because they could supplement their field production of greens with greens from the aquaponics system and because it would be a great interdisciplinary educational tool.

The other blog was for LFS 252. For our e-portfolio project, we researched how many people go to Sprouts throughout the week. Werecorded how many people bought lunch there on Mondays and Wednesdays between 12 and 1 versus how many people attend Community Eats during that same hour. Many more people go on Community Eats days. From this, we drew conclusions about how innovative events like Community Eats could have largeimpacts on social/health issues like student diets and nutrition and environmental issues like food waste.

They were both great projects. We got to look into some very interesting subjects. And now I feel like I’m that much more acquainted with WordPress.
